Cause if you use it (logic and reason) then the bible becomes nothing more then a fairy tale. Does god want me to be stupid or go to hell? What would you choose?

The word of God you assume to be unreasonable and illogical.
There is way that seems right to a man and this way ends in death.
God is an eternal spirit.
Do you think that man's logic is going to comprehend that which is greater than he is?
It is not by flesh that you will know spiritual things.
We can not know God or see God with our flesh.
We do not know God by our widom but by his revelation.
There is a greater truth than that which you see with your eyes.
Flesh and blood do perish.
If your faith is only in that which you can see then your faith is in death.
All things physical do pass away.

Logic and reason are human attributes. There's nothing Godly about questioning your surroundings and asking why you're here.
The Bible has ALWAYS been a fairy tale...written by men...to gain control of other men.
I don't think it really matters what "god" thinks. What really matters is that you question everything and make up your own mind from the evidence you've gathered.

I have a quote from a hero of mine that deals with this. His personal life sucked but his ideals and accomplishments were admirable.
Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.
Thomas Jefferson
3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)

God gives us logic and reason to operate in the material world. But there is a higher realm the spirit realm where God wants us all to put on the mind of Christ to have Godly wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Christians use their natural mind for the natural world and use their mind of Christ concerning the things of God. God does not make mistakes.

I would suggest that God gave you logic and reason, just like eevrybody else, but for some reason, you failed to make proper use of it.

God gave us logic and reason so we can have the free will to believe or not to believe; use this gift wisely.

He didn't, we got logic and reason when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. We were not stupid before that either.
